I have used this to bring a form of scripting to the graphic calculator I used and hacked on during my high school years. I think this really shines on embedded systems: it's quite easy to map existing syscalls and functions to PicoC functions with minimal overhead, more complex things like struct passing are supported, and memory addresses can be accessed directly just like with "real" compiled C (something that has upsides and downsides, but I like this kind of freedom a lot, and as far I know, other scripting languages like Lua don't support it). Unfortunately, function pointers aren't supported, and it's 10x slower than equivalent compiled C, if not more, and perhaps slower than Lua (and we aren't even talking about LuaJIT). There also appear to be some issues yet to be dealt with, as can be seen on the previous project page at Google Code: https://code.google.com/p/picoc/issues/list https://code.google.com/p/picoc/issues/list
